Chapter 33 The Anecdotes of the Early Dynasty
Pei Min slept in Sun's Mansion for a night, and everything was fine!
Li Longji also ushered in the early dynasty of this day.
There is no doubt that the court meeting was discussed around the important matter of sealing Zen.
There are many, many detailed issues that need to be discussed one by one regarding the process of sealing meditation.
Overhead, of course, is the main thing.
Whether it is luxurious or thrifty, this must be decided first.
Only with this in mind can we begin to do everything that follows.
Early this morning, the civil and military forces in the court were ready.
Li Longji had not yet arrived, and the civil and military officials were making preparations before the war.
This kind of court controversy is the best time to appreciate the talents of officials, and it is also the time when it can add points in front of the king.
The civil and military officials are full of strength, some are ready to persuade to focus on frugality, and some are ready to persuade to put luxury and grandeur first.
is like Wang Maozhong, as a famous Tang Yuan hero.
Wang Maozhong's treatment is excellent, he is not like Gao Lishi, he often accompanies Li Longji, and he is not as brilliant as Pei Min's military exploits, no one can compare. But he is a general, the opening of the palace is the same as the three divisions, and his status is equal to that of Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao.
Wang Maozhong is a general, and his main task is to raise horses and grow vegetables in the open land where no one is in the palace. The secondary task is to be responsible for the security of the palace,
It is also recorded in the book that Wang Maozhong "often harvests the grass in the fields in the garden, and the rate is abundant".
As the general of Zuo Wuwei, Huo Guogong, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, do not judge the strength of military merits, but are famous for planting vegetables and horses, and Wang Maozhong is one person throughout the ages.
It can also be seen that Li Longji has the ability to employ people.
This nepotism is a problem that Li Longji will not be able to get rid of in his life, and all those close to him have been reused, but his ability to use people is also undoubtedly obvious.
He is well aware of Wang Maozhong's talent, and he can't fight wars or administration. gave him a high position, but arranged for him to grow vegetables and grass in the palace.
Wang Maozhong was not ashamed, but proud.
Recently, Wang Maozhong can be said to have had everything going wrong, first of all, he sought the position of the envoy of Longyoujie, and twice stirred up Pei Min.
Secondly, he looked down on the eunuchs the most, and beat and scolded the eunuchs in the palace at every turn.
Even if it was Li Longji's close attendant, Wang Maozhong did not let it go.
Eunuchs of the level of Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao also scolded him, so that when they saw Wang Maozhong, they had to concede three points and try not to confront him.
Wang Maozhong was also complacent about this.
But now he found that Gao Lishi's reputation was already above him unconsciously, and a castration he looked down on actually climbed on his head.
Wang Maozhong is really unwilling, he can't compare to Pei Min, who has brilliant military achievements, but he can't compare to a eunuch?
Wang Maozhong made up his mind this time to rush up, he fell in love with the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, intending to squeeze out the current Han Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
In this regard, he has a comprehensive plan, first do what he likes, help Li Longji make this Zen bigger, and after pleasing him, he will ask Li Longji for the book of the military department.
Sure enough, as Chong Wenwu thought, this court will open.
The topic immediately revolved around the sealing of Zen......
Wang Maozhong couldn't wait to stand up, talk rhetorically, quote scriptures, and read out the article written by the Confucian who had memorized it all night.
After a lot of great truths, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.
Wang Maozhong actually said this big truth, which is as strange as the sun coming out of the west.
Baiguan looked at Li Longji's reaction, and couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.
It is not difficult to see from Li Longji's performance a few days ago that this king's original intention was to make a big fanfare, but there were too many people to persuade him, and he did not settle down for a while.
Now his attitude is confusing, there is no expression on his face showing a hesitation, and he said halfway: "There is no need to mention this matter again, I thought about it for a night last night, and suddenly remembered a famous saying of Emperor Taizong of my dynasty, 'Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat'." I deeply feel the hardships of the people in the world, and now Kyushu is determined, and the people have just lived a prosperous life. I can't bear to hurt the interests of the people because of the closure of Zen...... There is no need to be extravagant this time. Fearless pomp can be simple. I repay the heavens with sincerity, which is to pray for the blessings of the common people in the world, not to show off my wealth in the world. Needless to say! ”
The words of the righteous Bingran, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were ashamed, and they worshipped one after another: "Your Majesty cares about the common people, virtuous and sage, and my Tang Dynasty will definitely prosper and win......"
Wang Maozhong stood stupidly, with a blank face, plus he wanted to cry without tears.
Li Longji saw that the officials reacted violently, and he also knew that what Pei Min said was true. This matter spread, the people of the world, who doesn't remember him Li Longji's good?
Only people like Song Jing and Zhang Shuo understand the real reason.
They knew the emperor too well, it was not his character at all, someone must have persuaded him.
Who this person is, with their intelligence, there is no need to guess at all.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Pei Gongzhi is wise, brave and benevolent, and there is no right in the world." ”
Pei Guogong is a symbol of identity and official position, but Pei Gong is a heartfelt recognition of a person.
The pomp and circumstance of Feng Zen has been decided, but there are still many trivial matters to discuss.
For example, the selection of Yaxian and the matter of the crown prince in charge of the country after Li Longji left, these details need to be carefully discussed.
In particular, Yaxian, Yaxian is a very important existence for Fengzen.
The three offerings are the most solemn ceremonies of the ancestors of the Zen Sacrifice Heaven, that is, the first offering, the second offering, and the final offering.
The first dedication is naturally in charge of Emperor Li Longji, which is necessary and inevitable. In ancient times, Yaxian was responsible for the important ministers of the court, and it was generally the task of the highest-ranking officials, which was monopolized by high-ranking officials, and the final dedication was also the responsibility of the minister, but it was far less important than Yaxian.
Originally, it was possible to continue to use the ancient system, but when Gaozong sealed Zen before, Gaozong Li Zhi listened to Wu Zetian's opinion, and went down to Zen as the queen, and the concubine Yan of the Yue Kingdom was the final offering.
Immediately after that, Li Xian, the emperor of Tang Zhongzong, was again an incompetent wife, and Empress Wei took charge of Yaxian to swear her status.
Now, according to the ancient system, do you choose the important ministers of the court to make a big gift, or according to the new system, the queen is in charge of the second offering?
Yaxian, a position that Wu Zetian has to fight for, shows how significant the significance is.
Historians have long regarded Wu Zetian's struggle for a great gift as the first manifestation of his ambition.
With a choice, naturally there is an argument.
In the end, Zhang said that he took Wu Zetian and Empress Wei as examples, and said a lot of around the theme of "respecting heaven and respecting God, and reforming things", and decided the matter, opposing the queen's gift and changing it to the ancient system.
Next is the matter of the prince's imprisonment, and the discussion of the prince's imprisonment of the country.
Because there was no queen and queen, Li Longji succeeded him as the crown prince with his concubine Li Siqian.
Li Siqian Fang has just come of age and has never had experience in supervising the state to handle government affairs.
Li Longji only let Li Siqian study, and he didn't let him get in touch with any government affairs at all, and he suddenly took charge of such a major matter as supervising the country, so he naturally needed to discuss it well.
Li Longji listened to the discussion of the hundred officials as usual, but there were huge waves in his heart.
